Paragonimus westermani Ova whole mount, natural color, Parasitology Slides

Our Paragonimus westermani ova slides are professionally prepared to highlight the unique morphological features necessary for clinical diagnosis and parasitological study.

Product Specifications:

Dimensions: 25.4mm x 76.2mm (1″ x 3″)
Staining: Naturally preserved or lightly stained. The shell typically exhibits a characteristic golden-brown color due to bile staining.
Quality Control: Verified to contain multiple clear, representative specimens per slide, ensuring easy identification for students and professionals.

Key Identification Features:

Size: Relatively large, typically measuring 80–120 µm in length by 45–70 µm in width.
Shape: Oval or “pitcher-shaped” with a somewhat flattened appearance.
Operculum: A very distinct, flattened operculum (lid) is visible at the broader end. The shell often shows slight thickenings or “shoulders” where the operculum attaches.
Shell Thickness: The shell is thick and often appears slightly thicker at the abopercular end (the end opposite the lid).
Internal Contents: Contains a central unembryonated zygote surrounded by yolk cells, often appearing as a granular mass.

Biological Significance:

Pathogenesis: Causes paragonimiasis, a chronic lung infection. Symptoms often mimic tuberculosis, including chronic cough and blood-tinged sputum (hemoptysis) as the adult flukes reside in fibrous cysts within the lungs.
Transmission: Humans become infected by ingesting metacercariae in raw or undercooked freshwater crabs or crayfish.
Geographic Distribution: Predominantly found in East Asia, Southeast Asia, and parts of South America.
